Btw, TBEs make more like 30whp, not 10-20...

Biggest bang for the buck - delete your rear drum (muffler) and straight pipe it.. i must have gained 10-14 hp just by doing that.. the rest is stock. try that first before you spend 100s. it sounds just right and you loose 20 lbs roughly off the weight of the car... just my 50c.
